Dear supporters and friends!
We hope you all enjoyed your summer break, wherever you are in the world - and that you are settling into this busy Autumn period. We have had an incredibly busy time at Inspiring Girls, so much of which is down to our important support from our wonderful GlobalGiving supporters!
We want to give you an update on some of our activities, and also let you know that we have a very exciting camapign launch on Wednesday 4th October, which runs until 18th October, called This Little Girl Is Me. First launched in 2021 across Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, the #ThisLittleGirlIsMe campaign has reached over 47.5 million people and received immense support from influential figures such as Annie Lennox, Arianna Huffington, Sheryl Sandberg and Melinda French Gates. The impact was extraordinary, and this year, we aim to achieve even greater success.
The campaign's primary focus is to empower young girls worldwide. We're searching for extraordinary women role models within our GlobalGiving network to share their stories, advice, and experiences by highlighting the wisdom they wish they had known at a young age, we aim to inspire and uplift these young girls. If you would like to get involved or to learn more information, please head to: https://inspiring-girls.com/thislittlegirlisme for further instructions on how to get involved, we can't wait to see your inspiring posts! And don't forget to follow the hashtag to see other every day women post their heart-warming and inspiring stories.
In other news across the Inspiring Girls universe, we were delighted that our global partner, Barbie Mattel had a smash hit at the box offce with Greta Gerwig's fantastically popular Barbie movie. In the U.S, our work with Barbie's DreamGap project was showcased in theatres ahead of the movie screening with their Dream Gap film. We were very proud to demonstrate the impact of our partnership with Barbie Mattel.
